I never count my change.

Me neither.

I've got a habit of paying attention to how much change I get. Surprisingly, I can't recall more than one or two times I've gotten the wrong change ever. I think it might be because when I see they've gotten the wrong change, I don't automatically reach for it, which gives them an extra moment to notice. Or maybe I do some other semi-subconscious body language thing that subconsciously alerts the cashiers that they might want to recount.

Maybe you just look shifty.

Do you let the cashier know when you've been undercharged?

I generally buy the same thing at my favorite coffee place so I know how much it should cost. When they tell me a lower price I always point it out. But it's not so much because of honesty as concern that I get the drink I wanted. Maybe they misunderstood my order and that's why the price is different. Besides they take good care of me so I feel some obligation to return the favor.

I had to correct a particularly clueless employee at this same place after she gave me back change that was more than I'd given her in the first place. Actually I gave it back to another employee because I thought she needed to know the other employee needed some, uh, help.

If I'm not at the register, I'm not going back. But I have corrected $20 mistakes in my favor at Panera before.

Can't do math (or find buttons on a screen)? Work at Panera!

Sheesh, I can do my total AND compute the tax in my head while the kids there find the right button to push. This is not something I do very easily. Something's wrong at my Panera.
